Beverly Bayne — Motography’s Gallery of Picture Players (1912) 🇺🇸

Miss Beverly Bayne is one of the beautiful leading ladies of Essanay’s eastern stock company, whose work in a number of recent productions has won the praise of both press and public.

Miss Bayne is a striking photographic subject and a firm believer in all forms of outdoor exercise. She is an expert horsewoman and can be seen any fine morning cantering along the Lake Shore Drive on her spirited Mount, preparatory for the day’s work before the camera in the big Essanay studio.

Miss Bayne is a Chicago girl, and one of her favorite hobbies is sketching and water-color work, at which she is an adept.

Her unusual beauty and ability to portray a wide range of characters have gained for her a host of admirers in the film world, and she has played leading roles in such recent productions as “The Understudy,” “The New Church Organ,” “The Old Wedding Dress,” “An Adamless Eden,” “The Return of Becky,” and “The Hermit.”
